Hi I have been trying to run PAT simulations after almost a year and it seems that the server does not get started automatically anymore. I triggered it and it still seems that for some reason it is still not starting after following following recommendations here: https://unmethours.com/question/69369... Attaching screenshot of the errors here. Hoping someone can tell me what the error is saying?image description

No idea if it's the cause, but I noticed your path has "Carlisle PAT modelling" in the directory and applications are notorious for having bugs related to spaces in paths. Can you try a different directory that doesn't have spaces?

Hi @shorowitz, thanks for getting back to me. I tried changing the name of the directory, but it still gives the same error. Any other possible solutions?

this will sound silly, but reboot your computer to kill any zombie ruby processes from previous failed startups. copy the 'start server command' from the debug console in your pic and run that in a terminal / power shell. where it says --debug, add --verbose after it. that will get you more info

also, try using the latest 3.6.1-1 release.
